Re: January window
 

Yeah, you have a point, I'd much rather spend money we don't have on "proven" players hoping they get us further up the league!

Goodwin Antwi, Anthony Gerrard, Rob Elliot, Piero Mingoia, Fosu to name a few, were all relatively untested at this level, They didn't turn out too bad, did they?

Re: January window
 

One of ems played for Peterborough, last time i looked they were an higher league than us.!:rolleyes: both lads backgrounds make em promising as far as i'm concerned.

Re: January window
 

Have just read on skysports Harvey Rodgers was all set to sign for Luton for rest of season, obviously we were more appealing.:D also was competition from Cambridge United.

Re: January window
 

He'd probably rather stay up north - well, who wouldn't?! :)

Both scored the late winners in Hull U23s win at Man City.

Re: January window
 

Apparently you were interested in striker Scott Boden

Re: January window
 

Look at the date cashman that were a year ago

Re: January window
 

Still it shows others interest.

Re: January window
 

Makes you wonder why the deal was called off aswell, he played for Wycombe pre season one of there fans says he's very decent, good at pinging the ball around the pitch

Re: January window

For a defender can't be any worse than vyners distribution

If nothing else works, dusty old books and sky fairies will see us through.

Re: January window
 

What a horrible thing to write about our new signings beliefs because you don't agree with them.
Show some respect and get behind the club, such horrible bitter outdated remarks because someone has a different belief to you are not welcome at Accrington Stanley, especially to a new young player who needs all the support possible.

The lad is internet savvy, he may well read this forum. Do you think your spiteful childish comments may provide him with any more encouragement or motivation to wear the Stanley shirt?

Re: January window
 

you,re right dav there,s banter and there,s banter.

Re: January window
 

For once I agree with Dav007 - there's a fine line between banter & that sort of comment

Re: January window
 

I just don't see how it helps anyone ?

Re: January window
 

Calm down, if the lad's a practicing Christian and has been around football for ten years, I'm sure he's heard and read worse and can take such comments in his stride.
Is it any better to assume 'victimhood' on someone else's behalf when that person may be perfectly strong enough in their beliefs to let others' comments wash over them?

Re: January window
 

True Exile, I remember David Brown was very religious & he got some (mainly good natured) stick for it but at least he'd had time to settle in the team before he experienced it

Re: January window
 

A very innocuous comment in my opinion.

Re: January window
 

(com on Dav) I thought a Fans Rep was supposed to pasify and take the heat out of situations not intensify and cause a war

Re: January window
 

If davs a fans rep i'll show me arse to the town hall clock.:D

Re: January window
 

what a site!!! can I sell tickets

Re: January window
 

You can sell mine! :rolleyes:

Re: January window
 

people are free and should be free to be questioned and criticised for any belief.

but attacking a new lads belief with lazy jibes when he hasn't been at the club for 5 minutes on a football forum which is all about accrington stanley is counter productive and completely unnecessary

i couldn't care less what someones beliefs were, all i want is any individual in a stanley shirt to put in 100% and produce the goods.

Re: January window
 

Dav !.

Both you and I have over the years produced a post or two, which contained thoughts and sentiments which were meant to be ever so succinct and clever, but which turned out to be nothing but dross in the end. The outcome being that with some forethought we wouldn't have made them in the first place
I'm certain that Lord D in no way intended to attack our new striker's Christian beliefs, just as he would not say anything to offend mine !.

We all have the welfare, and spiritual well-being of our team at heart, and Lord D is so obviously included in this number. Time to move on Dav ?...

Happy New Year incidentally !

KTF.

Re: January window
 

happy new year!

see you at wembley for the fa cup semi finals

we will demolish luton on saturday

Re: January window
 

Not again! It was bad enough last time! :rolleyes:

Re: January window
 

Just watching the Doncaster Portsmouth game, noticed Tom Davies and Adam Buxton arnt even in the squad, Anyone know if they're injured?

Also Ross Etheridge has been out on loan from Doncaster so mustn't be fancied!

Re: January window
 

probebly get em on loan if we,re interested especially buxton. etheridge has been on loan at alfreton town. don,t know if i,d want him back as i was not totally convinced by him last season. suppose we were spoilt with bettoneli in the nets.

Re: January window
 

Doubt I'd bother with Davies (although he's a good un). Etheridge would be an improvement on what we have. Buxton could be a huge plus - more attacking support down either wing would be super, great, fantastic. Switch the Don to Right back.

Re: January window
 

Etheridge came on as a sub for Donny on Thursday night so must be back with them.

Re: January window
 

Fully agree with your assessment lord D, Tom Davies was a great addition to the team when he came at first but after being out through injury for a little while he was never the same player, As for Buxton when he was fit he was a cut above the rest, I hope he has learned not to take on players like Akinafewa full on, Even if Bucko put the big fella on his bum, It must have hurt, Perhaps somebody could ask JC if he is in his thoughts. If he can stay fit he would be good for at least 15 points in the second half of the season.
We still need some additions to the squad but maybe some should go as well.

Re: January window
 

I liked Buxton when he was here but given the manner in which he left I don't think I'd want him back tbh

Re: January window
 

Obviously i missed that? whats the score?

Re: January window
 

Just that he was here for pre-season training & games, was even on the team photo - he tweeted that he was staying & about to re-sign then at very last minute cleared off to Portsmouth to play for Cook & co - it just left a sour taste tbh

Re: January window
 

Maybe it had something to do with a Bucko training throughout pre-season, smiling broadly in the team's official photo, and then disappearing just before the season kicked off. I liked him too but his fitness was (is?) a liability for a team with limited finances.
(beat me too it, Accymad)

Re: January window
 

Cheers di i remember now, me memorys getting real crap these days.;)

Re: January window
 

From Andy holt
There is interest in our players this transfer window, the days when .@ASFCofficial had to accept any offer are over. 1/2

But I won't stand in the way of any .@ASFCofficial lads career progression as long as the interested party is sensible. #justsaying 2/2

Re: January window
 

I have to agree it left a bitter taste with me as well, although I liked him as a player and a nice lad to speak to. I did smell the hand of a no good agent involved in this. He would have done better staying with us. He has not had a look in at Portsmouth. What has happened to Naismith as I never hear him mentioned these days. But would I have Bucko back probably yes all things considered. I think he could be persuaded to come back on loan even. It is a department we are weak in. I don't know who else the Manager is talking to or what he has up his sleeve. we will know soon.

Re: January window
 

Naismith scored a good goal fer em yesterday,;)

Re: January window
 

Oh God! That sounds ominous.
I know we need the money, but to lose someone like the Don or Beckles at this stage of the season would be a disaster.
On the other hand, tell Arsene Wenger we want 10 million for McConville.
:D

Re: January window
 

Hang on a min, after yesterday only 10 Million with add ons.;)

Re: January window
 

I believe a lot of scouts have been watching Pearson every player has a price and if they want to go they will but as Andy Holt says the days off being ripped off have gone.

Re: January window
 

Looks like a chav has hacked his account, #justsaying :)

Re: January window
 

I have to say that I am surprised Matty pearson has not been snapped up by a bigger richer club, He could walk into most teams and do a great job.

Re: January window
 

Just been reading Crooks want a loan away from Ibrox.I think that would be a good loan

Re: January window
 

That would be beyond irony if we loaned back a player who was happy to sign forms before the season had ended.
Surely he'd be too embarrassed to show his face after that?

Re: January window
 

If you recall Beckles/The Don's agent told me there was strong Championship interest in the pair of them. QPR were after the Don, but I think their manager got sacked after that (the Luton away match). The Don being injured, and indifferent form on his return may have cooled interest.

If I was a betting man I'd say Matty will be courted by Div 1 or Champs teams also?

Sean's goal against Luton though. Reckon he's destined for a top European side.

Re: January window
 

He's already at one! :D

Re: January window
 

I can't foresee anyone leaving over the jan window, come the summer I think only Brown, Gornell, McCarten, Chapman will be left under contract until 2018, so I would expect some exits then

Re: January window
 

I reckon its a possibility of someone leaving otherwise to me why did we need another centre half? I reckon its all about if we get the right bid?

Re: January window
 

Every player in the WORLD is for sale at the right place.

What is nice to see however, is that we won't be taking peanuts for players like in the past.

Still winds me up how the likes of Tom Aldred where sold for next to nothing.

Re: January window
 

Mr Jewell, reported that few changes at ASFC this transfer window, loans up, contracts expiring! and other teams interested in our players!

Re: January window
 

Eagles has gone.

Re: January window
 

Did he fly off?:rolleyes:

Re: January window
 

Please can this occasion be marked with another round of musical puns?

Re: January window
 

I believe he's been told to 'Take it Easy' :)

Re: January window
 

I believe he's relaxing at a hotel in California.

Re: January window
 

Perhaps he was sick of Accrington.....or would that make him 'I'll - eagle ' ?.
Then he might have been too under par !....


More to follow ?

KTF

Re: January window
 

Perhaps he couldn't stand the lyin eyes

Re: January window
 

Why sign an injured player on loan ?

Re: January window
 

Eagles wasn't on loan, we signed him on a short term contract

Re: January window
 

Wish him well had a lot of off the field personal issues in his life I'm led to believe.

Re: January window
 

Probably "Waiting in the weeds" ;)

Re: January window
 

Zak Vyner returns to Bristol city

Re: January window
 

Jones returns to West Brom.

Re: January window
 

Shame about Zak but thought it was likely, good luck to the lad - Callum Jones went back a while ago if I remember rightly?

Re: January window
 

Probably a week ago, and this is now 'next week' !!

Re: January window
 

No, was way before Christmas I think

Re: January window
 

Chris Eagles signed for Port Vale until Summer!

Re: January window
 

I have noticed a number of loan player who have gone from Here and done very well away from here. Is there something wrong with our training? Maybe we have been stuck in our ways. I will be interested to see if those who have left do better away from us and will confirm a few thoughts I have.

Re: January window
 

Spot on ChrisR, Couldn't have said it better myself...

Anybody able to tell me how Carl Ikeme, Rob Elliot, Darren Randolph, Anthony Gerrard, Kevin Long, Marcus Bettinelli have done since leaving Stanley on loan?

All fallen by the wayside I'm guessing?

Re: January window
 

If they do better then that says to me, sod all much wrong with our training, we have made em better?

Re: January window
 

If it's a young loanee you'd expect them to do better (improving with age and experience), if it's an older player then the same or worse.

If our training methods are poor then you'd expect ALL players (not just loanees) to do better. You'd also expect all players to do worse here than the clubs from which they came from. Etc.

Brayden Shaw won Welsh Premier League player of the month award

Heard John O'Sullivan contract at rovers up in summer and might let him go early but few league one clubs after him!

Re: January window
 

Blackburn's scout was at the Hartlepool game and theyd made their mind up to release him.
He might be back ................. but again it will always come down to ££$$

Re: January window
 

Ikeme - wolves 1st choice keeper
Elliot - Newcastle reserve keeper
Randolph - plays regular for West Ham
Gerrard - sure he's retired
Long - on loan at MK Dons
Bettinelli - regular for Fulham (contract expires in July btw)

Re: January window
 

I was wrong about Gerard he plays for Oldham and is also a dj

Re: January window
 

John is wanted by oldham and port vale

Re: January window
 

I’ve already spoken to Blackburn about John. It’s just a little bit complicated at the moment, with John’s contract running out at the end of the season. We have got a deal in place to extend his loan until the end of the season but that will depend on what happens in the next 48 hours with regards his future at Blackburn.”

A quote from coley

Re: January window
 

MMMMMMMM two clubs without Managers.

Re: January window
 

Oldham have a manager - they've appointed John Sheridan for this 3rd attempt at the job! Getting as bad as Martin Allen going back & forth to Barnet :rolleyes:

Re: January window
 

GTF, leave stanley

Re: January window
 

I really don't get that, He never had a run in the team, His knowledge and experience would have helped the team a great deal. Strange decisions. but Eagles left and as played straight away and assisted in the goals for Portvale. It does raise questions in my mind about our training techniques. when players who can't get on the pitch during our worst run and can go elsewhere and perform. It does make for a question or two to be answered.

Re: January window
 

He never had a run in the team because he couldn't run!

Looked quality when the ball came to him but just didn't have the legs anymore.

Re: January window
 

Bobby Moore could never run, didn't make him a bad footballer, he had it upstairs as GTF has.:rolleyes:

Re: January window
 

Don't think GTF could ever be described as speedy Gonzales, even in his heyday with Blackpool. He was just a big strong forward thought good enough to play in the Premiership.
Also mystified that, after scoring on his debut, he was literally side-lined.
I sometimes wonder whether if we got Diego Costa on loan, he'd get more than ten minutes on the field, and then only when we're 1-0 down.
:confused:

Re: January window
 

Bloody hell :D:D:D:D:D

Re: January window
 

We can't get Moore but I'm sure Bobby Charlton still has it upstairs you want to give him a go? He's been without a club for a while so should be happy for a game! :rolleyes:

Re: January window
 

Prat

Re: January window
 

if you don,t try someone you,ll never know what if anything they can bring to the table. eagles and garry t f should have had a run in the side before they were given a contract. it would have saved some money if they didn,t come up to scratch and not having em hanging around here just to fill up a bench.

Re: January window
 

Coleman reckons another incoming transfer this week let,s hope it,s someone with a bit of experience and leadership on the pitch.

Re: January window
 

Haven't been able stop thinking about it all day, but that's exactly what was missing yesterday.

Re: January window
 

It'll be another youngster on loan

Re: January window
 

The trouble is nobody seems to know what exactly is required from a player. Both Eagles and GTF were playmaker and goal scorer. Their experience alone should have entitled them to a good run out. What happens in the training room and pitch does make me wonder if the management can't handle players who have trained differently, Eagles and others could change tactics mid game which didn't seem to fit the plan. Some strange decisions. whatever happens we need to win quickly. or Andy will have a serious decision to consider.

Re: January window
 

I heard that Coley and GTF had a falling out. IF so, then no wonder he didn't get a look in. Regardless of who he is (or was) he has no right to fall out with the Gaffer.

Dunno about Eagles but he didnt look that good on his sporadic forays into the side. He was also unavailable for a while at his own request apparently - would you drop another player to play someone who turns up when he fancies a game?

As for him having three assists for Port Vale in a 4-0 win ... that was a behind closed doors friendly wasn't it? Hardly one for his CV

Re: January window
 

Goalkeeper position - hopefully filled now, let's hope we can keep this one in one piece.

Defence - sorted. Probably short of a couple of full backs but first XI defence is a strong point.

Midfield - 5 please

Striker - Keep Kee and Edwards, ship the rest out.
